Vladimir Putin’s end-of-year press conference
Russian President Vladimir Putin held his usual end-of-year press conference. Putin began by highlighting the strength of the Russian economy, which will make the war last until their goals are achieved.
Putin said that the West had always tried to marginalise the Russians, and that it was not the Ukrainians’ fault that the civil war was going on, but the fault of the West.
He also received a question about Viktor Orbán
The Russian President was also asked about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Putin said that he did not consider Orbán to be a pro-Russian politician. According to Putin, the Hungarian prime minister is a man who, unlike other EU leaders, represents the interests of his own country, hvg.hu reports.

“All I can do is ask the question. My people came to me, Dan Coats came to me, and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be,”
